emachines 770 drivers

Hello,

I hate it when someone brings a faulty "emachines" tower into the shop and they dont have a driver disk.

The current problem is that although Windows Home SP2 seems to find the majority of motherboard drivers, it cant find the audio, vga or USB drivers for the board.

This is no surprise when you consider that any item removed from the computer for inspection is labled "triGem" which is a partner of Olivetti. The fact that neither of these websites (including uk.emachines.com) will list this particular make and model of computer in its drivers section just enrages me.

Running around the net, looking on driverguide, trying different AC97 drivers have all left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.

Thinging of buying emachines? DONT! You will be VERY sorry, speak to us about one of our computer systems, at least you will be able to get some tech support or downloads when things go wrong.

Just another quick note. the lady in question returned yesterday to pick up her e-machines computer.

I suggested the following solutions.

Replace motherboard and keep her existing celeron 478 processor or replace both the processor and the motherboard and use her existing memory. I will keep you posted on what she went for.

Quite rightly she chose to upgrade her motherboard. It did seem that the USB's are knackererd. For those of you looking for drivers for this motherboard i now have them and when i get home i will be posting them here.
